Used to get my tea from White Crane Tea in Japan Center, but they closed, and their website is also shut down. Thanks.

If you enter the Mall near the cinemas it is on the right side and it says Antiques outside the shop. The owner is a soft-spoken very nice man that has a comprehensive selection of quality loose-leaf tea. Sun Nov 08 23:18:43 -0800 2009 5166319 172526 saffrongold
